Please remember that (except for the week of Summer Day Camp) the Child and Family Counselling Association (CAFCA) are renting the church basement from 12:00pm-2:00pm on Monday through Friday.
This means we need to keep that space clean, tidy, and uncluttered for their use as well as not interrupting the privacy of their program while it is underway.
I realize that with our own summer day camp underway next week this means some inconvenience and extra work for Westsiders who have prep work to do for camp, and I thank everyone in advance for their extra effort and consideration to CAFCA.

Westside Bible Church is now a place on Foursquare.com.
If you have a smart-phone, you can join a number of Westsiders who have started playing the online, social media game Foursquare. In Foursquare, you get points for checking into places already registered with Foursquare.com, and even more points if you register a place not entered yet.
Sure, at first glance this all seems like one more online time waster, but if you check in while you are at the church not only will you get points towards the game, but you'll also be able to share what's up at the church with your Facebook and/or Twitter friends - a fun way to share with and lead the people who are following you.
By "checking in" at the church you will also give the church a better profile on foursquare.com. As other people view locations around Colwood, the church shows to them as a local place to check in. Think of it as another way to have a presence in our neighbourhood and remind them we are here!
More help is needed to pull together all we need for Summer Day Camp snacks. We are still in need of food donations and kitchen supply donations. What is still needed you ask? You can download a list in the Summer Day Camp downloads area and then touch base with April (

Our website and e-newsletter have undergone a major upgrade in the last couple of weeks.
Although the backbone and many other parts are in place, there is still some way to go to make it attractive and organized in an efficient way.

A big thank-you to to everyone who helped make our Nigerian Sunday at the end of June the success it was.
Not only did we enjoy good food and company, but our wacky auction raised just under $3000 dollars - so make sure you follow through and pay for what you bought!
“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.”
